Порлок расположен примерно в 4 милях от Тарр Болл и является одной из самых популярных деревень Эксмура, учитывая его превосходное процветающее сообщество вместе с местными магазинами, включая аптеку, супермаркет и мясную лавку, а также церковь, деревенский зал, начальную школу, четыре гостиницы и рестораны.
